What is the process for adjusting the throttle to make it more responsive. Former owner added avon style grips but the throttle has to be turned significantly before there is any change in RPM from idle. This creates 2 issues: 1: the part of the grip that hits the heel of my hand is turned too for from horizontal to be of any use and 2: I have embarrassingly stalled the bike at stops lights on 3 occassions because I started easing on the throttle and letting out the clutch at the same time but because I have to roll the throttle so much before the RPMs climb I have released the clutch too much and I stall it. Bike is in sig.

ETA: Stock 2009 FLHP 103 w/Throttle By Wire

 

You will need to give more information like what's been done to the motor if anything etc. I'm assuming you've got a TBW yes?

 

I'm not gonna try to figure out info on your bike, tell us what you have.

easier for you to type it out than me( us) to click through a bunch of pages and back to your thread to reply

The throttle boss that the heel of your palm rides on is adjustable.

 

If you have a 2009 [as in your signature] then you have throttle by wire. The only way this can be adjusted is with a tuner. I have a TTS tuner for my 09. It has a throttle blade section that will adjust the throttle reaction time.

 

my apologies, Bike specs added to OP. I will take a look at repositioning the throttle boss. This will help when cruising but wont do any thing for the responsivness of the throttle. What does the star shaped finger adjustment on the underside of the throttle/front brake lever do?

 

The star shaped thing is for adjusting drag on the return function. If you tighten it the trottle will stay in position or reduce spring pull against your throttle hand.
